Polish Prime Minister Leszek Miller wants to see more Polish products on Singapore shelves and more of the Republic's companies, including banks and insurance firms, set up in his country

He has even promised an 'ombudsman' who will look after the interests of foreign investors there and iron out any problems they may have.
Mr Miller, who is on his first visit to Singapore and is accompanied by his wife and a business delegation, shared Prime Minister Goh Chok Tong's wish for greater business links between the two countries.
At a lunch hosted by Acting Trade and Industry Minister Tharman Shanmugaratnam yesterday, he said laws in his country favoured foreign investment.
Poland could offer a range of products, from highly-processed industrial goods to non-genetically modified food and furniture, he told the gathering of about 40 Polish and Singapore businessmen.
Singapore is already Poland's most important partner in Asean, and Poland's accession to the European Union next year will create better conditions for others in this region to open trade links.
But Mr Miller was frank about his disappointment at the current level of cooperation which, he said, did not reflect the economic potential.
